That's not a half bad idea. I am one of the people working on the print manual, and I'm the guy on the wiki who's been interested in doing a detailed how-to article on stopmotion for the XO. We should talk further about this idea.

Hi!<br><br>It's an idea I'm tinkering around for quite some while now: Why not make a<br>stop motion animation of a computer manual?<br><br>Animations can be real fun and if you do it right you can teach a lot<br>
without using much language at all.<br><br>After straightening out the technical details my first test run can be<br>found at: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsqEue99GbQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsqEue99GbQ
